Holi!! The color of festivals in which we; pretty much un-holi-ly indulge in pasting whatever we get (including sand, soil, mud, dung!!) into different public/private body-parts of our so called friends... The closer the friendship; the more private parts gets the pasting.......
Well, after 4 years of engineering including 2 years of rigorous holi....we dint play the whole 2 years, just the 2 days!! We enjoyed a lot during the day and cooked chicken @ night....mmmmmmm!!! Delicious!! This year i was kinda lonely and down. Quite naturally!!
However, this year i hardly had any of my groups so was kinda disheartened...unsure of what 2 expect. One of my brothers came up here from Pune as i had an extended weekend. And with the 4 final year guys m living here, i started d festival slowly; splashing water(!!!) on them, some 'gulaal', n some permanent stuff....soon we were posing at d best of our colours!! we started lightly but things got a bit intense wen we tried 2 go in a hostel 2 get a guy waken up n coloured(i was expecting a counter-mass-attack!!).
That dint happen, but these guys came 2 our flat about half n hr after we all had bathed n scrubbed off our colors from our body...

Result..one more and even deeper shade of permanent color, another set of rigorous scrubbing!!
Lesson learnt: Never; never ever dare 2 wake a sleeping lion (read hostelite) in his den (read hostel) and then think of colouring him!!
Bottomline... Though it was not as good as before, still kinda liked d occasion...wasnt as bad as i expected!!
